For Day 6 of the World Cup, the search company has paid tribute to Paul the “psychic” octopus who became a global superstar for his successful predictions in the 2010 tournament, putting him in an animated “doodle” on the homepage Tuesday. It shows a befuddled octopus atop some fluffy clouds with a halo around his head, trying to choose between the flags of Belgium and Algeria.

Paul — who was kept at the Sea Life Centre in Oberhausen, Germany — had a remarkable run as a soothsayer during two major soccer tournaments, the 2008 Euro co-hosted by Austria and Switzerland and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Before each game, the cephalopod was presented with two clear boxes marked with different nations’ flags and each containing food. Whichever box he swam into was then considered his prediction, and over the course of his career he had an impressive record of 12 out of 14 correct predictions.

Although Paul died in 2010, his spirit lives on in many animals now predicting major soccer games. Here’s a list of oracles calling the 2014 World Cup.

The Brazilian turtle Cabeção, which means “big head” in Portuguese, has been fearlessly independent, picking Mexico over Brazil for Tuesday’s big game. He makes his predictions by eating a fish suspended under the flags of competing nations, and he successfully called Brazil’s 3-1 win in the opening match against Croatia. It seems Cabeção is limiting himself to only calling Brazil’s games, meaning he has a perfect record for now.

Don’t bet against this Emirati camel. Shaheen’s record so far is an impressive four out of five, and his only misstep was picking Portugal to beat Germany. Perhaps even this psychic camel couldn’t foresee Portugal’s meltdown Monday that resulted in a red card for defender Pepe and a 4-0 scoreline. For Tuesday’s Mexico-Brazil face-off, he went with the safe choice and picked the host nation for the win.

Nelly the Elephant

Based at Hanover’s Serengeti Park, Nelly the Elephant is a veteran of the prediction business. She successfully predicted the outcomes of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Euro 2012 and the Champions League final of 2013. It’s a bit difficult to tell from the video above exactly what Nelly thinks the future holds for the German team, but The Wire writes that she predicted a tie with Portugal, and victories against Ghana and the U.S. to leave Group G at the top of the table. She may have been wrong on the Germany-Portugal game, but given her track record it would be a mistake to count her out.

Flopsy the Kangaroo

The late Crocodile Hunter’s daughter Bindi Irwin is working with an adorable kangaroo at Australia Zoo to predict World Cup matches. Flopsy chooses a winner by picking a food bowl marked with a country’s flag, and so far the marsupial has gotten four out of five correct. (She also picked Portugal over Germany — a pattern among the psychic animals, it seems.) Her most recent prediction is for Australia to beat the Dutch when they meet on the pitch Wednesday, although one can’t help but notice the encouraging bowl-shaking that led to that choice.

Honourable Mention: Chinese Pandas

Panda cubs in Chengdu, China, had been prepared to call World Cup games this year but the stunt was stopped at the last minute by researchers who feared all the human contact would be harmful to the young pandas — or so they claim. Perhaps the pandas just weren’t up to the task and are honing their psychic abilities for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
